General George Patton 's ' Blood And Guts '

William Manchester, author of “The Bloodiest Battle”, utilizes personal war-stories throughout the essay to portray not only the challenging hardships of war but the vivid descriptions of human-to-human annihilation, and how that affected him emotionally. Manchester’s purpose was to show the audience that two countries (America and Japan) could make peace, but the individuals who fought it still struggle, including himself. He portrays the idea that there is more behind the victory of the war.

The American Revolution, the effects it had on those who served and their families, the death, the unapologetic rawness, and what it left behind; all of these aspects demand to be felt in Joseph Wright’s The Dead Soldier. Wright, called Joseph Wright of Derby, a European artist of the eighteenth century, who is best known for his beautiful portraiture, scientific scenes, and sensationally lit landscapes, steps outside of his norm and composes a sorrowful piece expressing the misery and loss the war had on the people of the time. With his use of chiascurro, draping lines, and contrasting color palette, Wright evokes an immense amount of sentiment in the viewer while highlighting the dark misery of the American Revolution, which is rarely

Douglas Macarthur was an extraordinary soldier. He was born in a military base, and throughout his teenage years he grew up and graduated at a military base. He also became a american general who commanded the SE pacific during world war 2. He also saw allied occupation of postwar Japan (from pearl harbor) which led the United nations to the korean war. Most importantly he will be remembered as one of the best American leaders.

Through vivid descriptions of George Washington, I learned that he was not the best military leader. There were multiple times in the war where Washington was faced with difficult decisions, and proved to be very indecisive. Also, there were times where action needed to be taken, but he couldn’t decide what to do. Even though I learned Washington wasn’t as great as the history books explain him to be, it makes me respect him more to know that he, just like any other American, flawed.

Although at first glance General George S. Patton is anything but creative, if you think about it, he is one of the most creative people of all time. Both his battle strategies and speeches were creative, bold, and extremely powerful. Each of his speeches, particularly his speech to the Third Army, are some of the most powerful and motivated I have read. Each and every speech he spoke riled his troops and made them want to crush the Nazis and win the war. Many people dislike Patton and his speeches because of his vulgar language, but there is no denying the effect the speeches had on the troops who served under him and the power in each word he spoke. http://www.wjpbr.com/patton.html

George S. Patton was one of the most highly regarded and successful military leaders in the history of the United States. His military career spanned from the expedition into Mexico throughout WWII. His ability to inspire his troops with his profane filled speeches and his position of always leading from the front gained him vast popularity and fame. Many political leaders considered him too controversial and intemperate at times. This reputation often overshadowed his determination and success as a commander. His bravery and many contributions to several of America’s war efforts has established him as one of the greats in American military history.

The key word here is MANY and many as in there were a LOT of soldiers. But one stood out Revolutionary war hero Nathan Hale. Nathan Hale was very smart. At first, he studied under a Village minister, but after that he went to Yale college. He had one brother-- Enoch Hale-- and his parents Richard Hale and Elizabeth Strong Hale. He Did Many Great Things In The Millitary But The Most Important thing he did was a spy mission to spy on the british as a dutch schoolmaster he got the info but he was captured on his way back to tell the intel he got but was captured and hanged on

GEN McClellan may not have been a great war time General but he excelled at training Soldiers, getting his men ready to fight and raising the morale of the Armies he

General Robert E. Lee is the best general of all time. But you would expect him to be best because he was raised in a strong military family, and trained in the best military schools in America. Then fought to keep mexico out of the states. But in 1861 it was to protect his home which was his biggest duty.

Robert E. Lee is regarded as one of the greatest generals in American history. Indeed it is easy to forget that he was but a human when he is highly esteemed by both sides of the argument that still surrounds the Civil wear. Lee was full of courage, honor, diligence, duty, a love for his family, and above all a reverence for god.

He showed me that if I shared my own mistakes with my soldiers, it would mitigate them from making the same mistakes I had made as a young soldier. I realized that talking to the soldiers at their level and giving examples of my accomplishments and failures instilled a certain trust and understanding. We all, as Soldiers, make mistakes; but we are not defined by the mistakes we make but by the actions we take afterward to improve ourselves as Soldiers. Great leaders are not defined by their accomplishments, but by the positive effect they have on their soldiers and the Army as a whole. CSM Dotson embodies what a leader is by upholding high standards, being honest and humble as well as effectively communicating to all Soldiers, enlisted and officers alike. I can only hope to follow his legacy and leave my own

     George S. Patton (1885 - 1945) was ideally suited to command an army. "He was bold

He was remembered by his fellow soldiers as “a fine looking officer and as straight as an arrow.”

We, the people, take great pride in our own victory, a sense of accomplishment and honor, we adore our “hero’s” for their sacrifices and bravery. We remember the names of those that made the greatest accomplishments in history; battling, winning, and conquering all in the name of our country, however, we often lose sight of those that served, sacrificed, and failed. We as a nation tend to overlook or forget about those that sacrificed the most and accomplished very little with the exception of a few lessons for future generations to learn from. I think people believe our country’s pride and dignity would be tarnished with thoughts of anyone not able to accomplish “greatness” on the battlefield. I have chosen to talk about a man that failed in battle, was “forced” out of service, but still governed the people of the
